The wonderful thing about frittatas is that they’re delicious at any meal: perfect for a hearty breakfast or lunch or a quick-fix dinner.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tsp

Uncooked sweet Italian turkey sausage

4 oz, casings removed

Uncooked onion

1 medium, chopped

Red bell pepper

1 large, chopped

Egg

6 large egg(s)

1% low fat milk

2 Tbsp

Fresh thyme

½ tsp, finely chopped

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

tsp

Grated Parmesan cheese

4 Tbsp, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a plate.
  3. Add onion and red pepper to skillet and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in sausage.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, milk, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until blended. Stir in 2 tbsp cheese.
  5. Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetable mixture and cook, lifting edges frequently with a spatula to let any uncooked egg flow underneath, until eggs are almost set, about 4 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle frittata with remaining 2 tbsp cheese. Place skillet under broiler 5 inches from heat and cook until eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut into 4 wedges.
  7. Serving size: 1 wedge

Notes

Time under the broiler will not only finish cooking the frittata but also create a lovely browned top covered with melted Parmesan cheese
